Vintage Toy Story Buzz Lightyear Intergalactic Ultimate Talking Action Figure

COLLECTORS Toy Story Buzz Lightyear Ultimate Talking Action Figure. Presented here is the 1996 Intergalactic Buzz Lightyear Ultimate Talking Action Figure , one of the most desirable and iconic Buzz Lightyear figures ever produced by Thinkway Toys. Highly sought after by dedicated Toy Story collectors, this edition represents a significant evolution of the original 1995 release and showcases several design enhancements that elevate it above its predecessor.

Finished in an eye-catching black and chrome color scheme, this Ultimate edition features an upgraded backplate with an integrated storage slot for the included disk launcher, along with a flip-up communicator on the left forearm complete with a functional push button and illuminated light (please read the Special Note below). These distinctive features make this version instantly recognizable and one of the most impressive Buzz Lightyear figures from the original Toy Story era. An especially fascinating aspect of this release is its connection to Anthony Van Bruggen, the lead designer of the original Toy Story action figures for Thinkway Toys.

Several of the enhancements found on this Ultimate edition reflect concepts that were originally envisioned for the first-edition Buzz Lightyear but could not be incorporated into the initial 1995 release due to production deadlines. As a result, this 1996 version offers collectors a glimpse of that original creative vision brought to life. Whether you are building a museum-quality Toy Story collection, searching for a standout display piece, or investing in one of the franchise's most celebrated collectibles, the Intergalactic Buzz Lightyear Ultimate Talking Action Figure stands as an exceptional example of Thinkway Toys' craftsmanship and the enduring legacy of Disney. Its historical significance, innovative features, and limited production era make it a centerpiece worthy of even the most discerning collection.

The original voice feature is not working. Since this toy has remained factory sealed for approximately 30 years, the original batteries inside are most likely completed depleted. In some cases, batteries of this age may also have caused minor corrosion on the battery terminals.

Because the package is still factory sealed, I cannot inspect or test the toy without opening the box and I have chosen to preserve its original sealed condition. For that reason, I cannot guarantee that the voice feature will work even after replacing the batteries. There is certainly a possibility that it may work once new batteries are installed, but unfortunately, it cannot be guaranteed.

This is a common condition with vintage, factory-sealed toy of this age. I'm not responsible for the internal condition of the battery compartment or the future battery life once the item is opened. This is a high-value collector's item. NEW in BOX and CLEAR TAPE SEALED (2).

PLEASE NOTE: The box may show signs of long-term storage, shelf wear, and age. These may include, but are not limited to, dust, discoloration, scratches, scuffs, dirt, tears, rips, or other cosmetic imperfections on the Buzz Lightyear figure, the box, and/or the original clear sealing tape. As they are an important part of the item's description and accurately show its condition.
